Abstract: An oven rack assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, and a first frame member rotatably coupled with the first arm and the second arm at spaced apart positions along an axis of the first frame member and supported by the first and second arms between a first vertical position and a second vertical position higher than the first vertical position. The first and second arms move the first frame member between the first and second vertical positions with movement of the first frame member in a direction of the axis by rotation of the first and second arms. The assembly further includes a first rack supported on a least a first side thereof by the first frame member and coupled with the first frame member to be slideable with respect thereto along the axis.

Abstract: An oven air circulation apparatus includes a first fan coupled to at least one motor that rotates about a first rotational axis in a first direction and a second fan that rotates about a second rotational axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction. A baffle wall is disposed proximate to the first fan and the second fan forming a planar surface arranged substantially perpendicular to the rotational axes of the fans. A plurality of first openings formed in the baffle wall are aligned with the first fan. A plurality of second openings are formed in the baffle wall aligned with the second fan. The first and second openings successively increase in proportion radially outward from the first and second axes, respectively.

Abstract: An oven rack assembly includes first and second mounting members and a first frame member being movably coupled with the first mounting member and the second mounting member at spaced apart positions along an axis of the first frame member and supported by the first and second mounting members between a first vertical position and a second vertical position higher than the first vertical position. The first and second mounting members move the first frame member between the first and second vertical positions with movement of the first frame member in a direction of the axis. The assembly further includes a first rack supported on a least a first side thereof by the first frame member and coupled with the first frame member to be slideable with respect thereto along the axis.
